Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with former Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix signing with the archrival Chicago Bears for one year at $3.5 million. Bears beat writer Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times notes that Clinton-Dix replaces Adrian Amos, who left Chicago to sign with Green Bay.

Finley writes that Clinton-Dix gets high marks from new Bears cornerback Buster Skrine:

“I know he’s a playmaker — that’s one thing he does,” Skrine said. “He’s got a lot of interceptions and he’s not scared to hit anybody. Having a guy like that, he came from Alabama, one of the best college systems in college football and then carrying it over to the NFL as a playmaker. It’s going to be awesome having him in the back end with me.”

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix gets $3.5 million on his one-year deal from the #Bears, source says. He had more on the table elsewhere but it sounds like he wanted to join that Chicago defense and be reunited with his Alabama teammate Eddie Jackson.

Value wise, this was one of the better financial moves of free agency. Adrian Amos goes to Green Bay on a four-year deal worth $36 million and in return, Chicago signs Clinton-Dix to a one-year deal for $3.5 million. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on Eddie Jackson to repeat a phenomenal 2018, but if he does, it seems he would be able to make up for any deficiencies Chicago sees in Clinton-Dix, as opposed to the cost of keeping Amos. I wasn’t totally down on Clinton-Dix in Washington last year the way some were, especially considering he was traded halfway through the season. He still has a great snap on the ball from that deep centerfield spot and controls his section of the field with authority. New England has been successful for so many years because of its ability to find suitable replacements with fewer strings attached financially, and this is a classic example of upgrading your team’s veteran middle class without extending yourself.

And finally, the view from Chicago, first from Pro Football Weekly's Hub Arkush:

Why can’t Fans separate actual analysis from fanboy talk. I like the Packers and hope they’re back in the hunt this year, but Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is a more complete safety and a better player than Adrian Amos. Just deal with it guys. Telling the truth isn’t a slap at the Packers.

And this from the esteemed Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report and The Athletic:

Ha Ha Clinton Dix: solid signing for the Bears, and a potential upgrade at the position. He's not as physical as Amos, but is more gifted in terms of coverage and instinct. He has more big play potential. Concern: he's probably best suited to do the same things Eddie Jackson does

Meanwhile, the Packers introduced their four new free-agent signings to the media Thursday. General manager Brian Gutekunst said the Packers were "fortunate," but Tom Silverstein says they were uncharacteristically aggressive:

The Packers needed a shot in the arm and they got one. We’ll find out later this year if it’s sustainable. https://t.co/CBTO1s2uoB

NFL.com updates its original list of the top 101 free agents to reflect who's going where. They had Preston Smith at No. 13, Za'Darius Smith at No. 16 and Adrian Amos at No. 37 (Billy Turner didn't make the list). Matthews does make this list at No. 58.

Anthony Barr talks about why he reneged on his deal with the Jets to stay with the Vikings:

Anthony Barr called Monday "one of the worst days of my life" after instantly regretting his decision to join the Jets via a verbal commitment his agent, Brian Murphy, gave to the organization. "I think I was trying to convince... https://t.co/Kpu8Qq5GQLpic.twitter.com/uEUYMEGecB
